70" LED or Projector

I think Jayn summed it up well. If you know what youre getting into and choose based on that then youre all set. I watch my projector every day for TV shows and all that. But it is a projector and thankfully its in a dedicated room so I can block out the windows and make it dark in there and be ok with that. If I had it my living room Id probably hate it, due to the bay windows and all the light. Although my living room is a better size for a theater.. I guess I could just board up the front windows !! :)

Also the size of the room makes a big difference .. If youre sitting to close to a projector screen the quality can possibly leave you itching for a 1080P LCD/Plasma .. I set approx 15'+ away and its great for me but if I sit much closer I have to have HD content playing and not some low quality rip of something because I can see the quality issues very well on that 120" screen when Im <10' away.

Is your projector 1080P?  Mine is, and pixels only become an issue at about 2' away.  Now, playing a DVD shows a picture that is noticably softer, but not objectionable to me.  Not enough to replace DVDs with BluRays, but I will buy the BR when there is a choice.

Again, for me 11' back from 120" screen feels good.  That is too closer for many others.  The average seems to be around 14' back.

Yes mine is 1080P .. But Im not watching content from the source (DVD and Bluray disc). Most everything I watch is a rip .. So a DVD is a 700MB-1.5GB file. Meaning if you think a real DVD is soft this would seem fuzzy ;) Thats why I said if Im sitting <10' away Id prefer HD content that way at worst its a little soft. Thats all because of what i watch, no real reflection on the projector itself.

Projectors are the feces if you have the room.  I have been enjoying every minute of mine.  Incidentally, sit 12 feet back from a 120" screen.  Its a comfortable distance in terms of the screen size/viewing angle/video quality.

So upgraditis hit again, sold off the 2 year old Samsung JS9500 and bought LG OLED for the living room. These are THE tv to have, what a difference in picture. Blacks make such a difference in tv watching, really didn't think I would see this much difference.  If you dont have a front projector and still going flatscreener, I cannot recommend these enough.
